As we step into September, the energy of Virgo season greets us with its meticulous and grounded nature, inviting us to organize our lives and lay a strong foundation for what’s to come. September, the ninth month, holds a vibration of completion, wisdom, and reflection. The number 9 itself signifies the end of a cycle; a time to assess our journey, integrate our lessons, and prepare for a new chapter.
This month, with its blend of earthy Virgo practicality and the reflective energy of the number 9, offers us a sacred pause. It’s a time to ground ourselves, tune into the rhythms of our daily lives, and realign with our core values. The celestial shifts we’re experiencing; like Uranus turning retrograde in Taurus, Pluto revisiting Capricorn, and the New Moon in Virgo are nudges, urging us to find peace within the chaos, to surrender control, and to trust in the process of transformation.
Finding peace in this season starts with acknowledging where we are and embracing the power of small, deliberate steps. Virgo’s influence encourages us to take a closer look at our routines, our habits, and the structures we’ve built around us. Are they serving our highest good? Are they aligned with the person we’re becoming? By refining these aspects of our lives, we create a sense of order that brings inner calm and clarity.
Surrender, on the other hand, is about releasing the need to control every outcome. With Uranus retrograde, the urge to break free from old patterns is strong, yet this energy is turned inward, asking us to let go of what no longer serves us. It’s a gentle reminder that sometimes, the most profound change comes from within, from a place of quiet acceptance and trust in the divine timing of our lives.
As we navigate these transitions, building financial stability becomes an integral part of this process. The retrogrades in Taurus and Capricorn highlight the importance of revisiting our financial foundations. Are we managing our resources wisely? Are we investing in our future in a way that aligns with our values? This is a powerful time to reassess, to budget, to plan, and to make practical decisions that will support long-term stability. Financial peace comes from understanding our relationship with money, from being intentional with how we earn, spend, and save, and from ensuring that our financial choices reflect our deeper goals and values.
In this season of introspection and refinement, we’re given the opportunity to cleanse and clear; both within ourselves and in our external lives. It’s a time to declutter, to simplify, and to focus on what truly matters. By aligning with the energy of Virgo and the transformative power of September, we can find a deeper sense of peace, surrender to the flow of life, and build a foundation of stability that supports our journey forward.
As we move through this month, let’s embrace the wisdom it offers, trusting that the seeds we plant now will blossom into the future we’re working so diligently to create. IF you become firmly rooted in purpose and direction during this time, even in the depths of the winter darkness you will find that things continue to bloom around you. Selah

Teach us to hold our desires for material wealth with open hands, knowing that our true riches are found in the treasures of Your kingdom.
And above all, may our hearts remain anchored in Your truth. In this season of transition and growth, help us to trust in Your timing, to be patient with ourselves, and to lean on You in every moment.
I offer this prayer in the name of love, peace, and the eternal light that guides us all. Amen.
Transits to Recall
Starting on September 1st, Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus. This shift invites us to slow down and reflect on the foundations we've built, particularly around our values and material security. While Uranus typically stirs rebellion and the desire for radical change, this retrograde directs that energy inward, encouraging us to assess what’s truly holding us back from living authentically. Initially, this shift might feel tense, as the need for stability clashes with the undercurrent of change. But as the energy settles, we'll find it easier to adapt, focusing on subtle yet significant shifts rather than overt rebellion.
On the same day, Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn after its brief visit to Aquarius. Pluto’s return to Capricorn signals one final deep dive into the structures and systems that govern our lives whether that’s our careers, governments, or the very rules we've set for ourselves. This period is about unearthing what no longer serves us within these structures, dismantling the old, and preparing for the transformative energy Pluto will bring when it re-enters Aquarius in November. It’s a time to confront the shadows of authority and control, and to reclaim our power in the face of societal and personal limitations.
September 2nd ushers in a New Moon in Virgo, a time to plant seeds for new beginnings, especially around our routines, health, and work. Virgo’s influence encourages us to organize, edit, and refine. It’s a moment to take stock of what’s working in our lives and what needs to be adjusted. While there may be challenges; perhaps stemming from obligations to others or conflicts between our physical and spiritual health; this New Moon provides the clarity and determination needed to start fresh with purpose and precision.
On September 4th, Mars enters Cancer, shifting our drive and determination to more emotional and home-centered pursuits. Mars in Cancer isn’t as aggressive as it can be in other signs; instead, it channels its energy into protecting and nurturing what we hold dear. This transit may inspire us to take action on domestic matters, defend our loved ones, or pursue our goals with a quiet tenacity rooted in emotional conviction.
The same day, Pallas, the asteroid of wisdom and strategy, enters Sagittarius, igniting our desire for truth and expansive thinking. Pallas in Sagittarius encourages us to look at the big picture, to seek wisdom in unfamiliar places, and to approach problems with a blend of optimism and intellect. This energy is ideal for those who are ready to broaden their horizons, both mentally and spiritually.
As Mercury enters Virgo on September 9th, our communication becomes more precise, analytical, and detail-oriented. Mercury is at home in Virgo, enhancing our ability to process information logically and efficiently. It’s a time when we can articulate our thoughts with greater clarity, making it perfect for editing, organizing, and refining any area of our lives that needs a little more structure.
On September 11th, we experience a First Quarter Moon accompanied by a Saturn-Uranus quintile. This aspect symbolizes the creative tension between the old and the new, tradition and innovation. Saturn’s disciplined approach in Pisces meets Uranus’ revolutionary energy in Taurus, encouraging us to find unique solutions to long-standing issues. The First Quarter Moon adds to this dynamic, pushing us to take action on the intentions we set during the New Moon, even if it means breaking away from our usual methods.
As we move towards the equinox, on September 22nd, the Sun enters Libra, marking the beginning of a season focused on balance, harmony, and relationships. Libra's energy is all about finding equilibrium in our lives, whether that’s within our personal relationships, our work-life balance, or our internal state of mind. It's a time to seek out beauty, peace, and justice, and to bring more fairness into our interactions.
Later that evening, Venus enters Scorpio, intensifying our desires and deepening our relationships. Venus in Scorpio is passionate, magnetic, and transformative. This is not a time for superficial connections; instead, we crave depth, intimacy, and emotional honesty. Whether in love, finance, or personal values, Venus in Scorpio asks us to dive beneath the surface and confront our true desires, fears, and motivations.
On September 24th, the Last Quarter Moon in Cancer brings a time of reflection and reassessment. This phase urges us to consider what we need to release in order to move forward. Cancer’s influence might stir up emotions, particularly around family, home, and our sense of security. It's a moment to let go of any lingering attachments or unresolved issues that are hindering our progress, making way for the new cycle to begin.
Finally, as we close out the month, these transits collectively guide us to realign our inner world with our outer reality. They ask us to honor both our need for stability and our desire for growth, to find balance between our emotional and practical lives, and to embrace the transformative energy that comes with change. As we navigate these shifts, we are reminded that each moment of tension, every challenge, and all the reflections we engage in are stepping stones on our path to a more authentic and fulfilled life.
